Features and remarks


Here you have the opportunity to acquire an original painting by Henryk Cześnik from 1995.

The Polish painter is known for his expressive works created from the immediacy of drawing. Deformed human figures are a recurring motif in his works.The bed-ridden patient experiences time and space in altered, distant dimensions. It seems to be this feeling that inspired the artist to create this surreal, psychological landscape.The stencilled figures stand awkwardly like jumping jacks or lie powerlessly in their beds. Outside, in front of the arched windows, a crucifix stands in a vast, empty landscape. Below it, we see the train that the "stationmaster" ("Zawiadowca") is probably directing: a column of different vehicles that remotely resemble hearses.

„It doesn't matter in my work, the sense of time doesn't count, it's unimportant, the situation can take place a hundred years ago and maybe a hundred years from now, or maybe today. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is the atmosphere, the climate builds up my inner being, the situation I find myself in, this moment is important and decides everything.“
